Process approach and process orientation are important issues that pioneer 1Corresponding author 118 A. Toloie Eshlaghy et al organizations should take care about. Acceptance of change with applying different known approaches like: Reengineering, Kaisen (Japanese continual improvement) and TQM are based on a primary assumption that organi- zations should focus on their main mission i.e. satisfying customer needs. Success in applying processes as organization constituents in this survey per- suade researchers to develop a process based model to achieve agile supply chain.
